[Evolution] Revised list of features



Below, is the revised list of features.  Attached, are all of the features that have been removed.

The features that were removed had one of the following properties -

1) They were a bug

2) They are a behavior that is common/default to the majority of email clients, and thus should be a configuration option as such (i.e. deleted messages are no longer seen in the folder they were deleted from vs.. strikethrough, or dragging messages to a folder adds that message to the folder)

3) Multiple items were merged into a singular item

4) I screwed up while copying and pasting, and thus the request has gone into a black hole.

If you feel that a feature request was removed by mistake/inappropriately removed, please email me, and I'll re-add it.

I should note that this feature request survey is being prepared for both those on the list, as well as for the public (i.e. Sourceforge), and thus some of the features listed below are already planned/partially implemented.

 

The feedback I need, is the following...

1) is the single sentence an adequate description to convey the idea of the feature?  If not, could you please suggest a better sentence?

2) is the feature located under the appropriate heading and subheading - if not where should it go?

3) what additional headings or subheadings should there be, if any?

I'd like to add a Project heading, as that is a major feature heading- so if you think of features that would be appropriate for 'project' please send those in as well. ( I have quite a few.. but haven't had time yet to put them to paper...)
